The New York Times just published quick quotes from ten unconnected celebrities on their approaches to eating. You can read them all here, but here are our two favorites. First, Alice Cooper on the dangers of Too Much Pizza:

“After a show, there’s always pizza, and unfortunately it’s the easiest thing to get when you’re in Wichita at midnight. So we have catering, but I find that now, when I’m going to get on a bus or plane and drive or fly to the next place, I have Lean Cuisine. I’ll just have something really light. If you eat four or five pieces of pizza before you go to sleep, you’re going to start gaining weight. After a while, you just say: ‘Really? Pizza? Again?’ “

And Deepak Chopra on his colorful theory of cooking:

“In general, I want to have seven colors of the rainbow. The seven colors of the rainbow are very important because they reflect phytochemicals, which are the most intelligent micronutrients that we know the pharmaceutical benefits of. Phytochemicals are actually chemicals derived from the energy of sun. They’re anti-inflammatory; they’re anti-carcinogenic. I’ve been a lifelong student of how nutrition affects our body physiologically, but also pharmacologically and even psychologically, because moods are influenced by food. That’s why we use taste metaphors: sweet love, sour grapes, bitter experience, pungent remarks, astringent humor and salt of the earth, etc. I think even the consciousness of the chef, the consciousness of the people you’re with and the attitude to food influences everything about food.”

Good luck finding much indigo and violet out there (besides grape-flavored popsicles).
